al qaeda. in many ways the center of gravity for al qaeda's global leadership has begun to shift from afghanistan and pakistan to syria, taking advantage of the conflict, taking advantage of the chaos. and so you're not just dealing with managing an isis problem in syria. you're dealing with managing an al qaeda problem as well. in many ways, al qaeda remains a potent threat with a global agenda and with a large roster of strong, well-connected terrorists with al qaeda connections on the ground in syria looking to do bad things. >> and what about russia? >> and obviously the other downside of pulling out our troops in the near or medium term is that it is just simply going to leave the playing field to other countries who are working against our interests. obviously russia and iran are at the top of that list. if we lose the ability to have some say, some influence in the ultimate political outcome if syria, that will be to our detriment and we'll probably pay a price for that. >> so russia and

al qaeda that's much more opportunistic. what we see is al qaeda taking advantage of regional turmoil across north africa, increasingly in subsaharan africa. it's a different kind of threat. there's a debate as to which threatens the united states more fundamentally, an al qaeda that can attack the homeland as on september 11, 2001, or an al qaeda that can attack gas facility in algeria or a consulate in benghazi? both are problems, but it's a sign, i think, of the success of operations against the core that these smaller affiliates are now a thing we're worried about. how complicated is this? how challenging is this for her, as part of her legacy, or do you expect that since she's leaving office, that she'll get a fairly easy time of it? >> we'll have to e. the republicans had wanted in a sense a political scale. they were unanticipate that secretary clinton couldn't testify before because she was unwell after her fall. >> saeblg clinton is going to take a lot of criticism for what happened in benghazi. i think she's also g
